and The Washington Post chimes in on Archipelago - the soft opening is this week - and they are impressed with the drinks, even preferring the originals to the standards.

It is cool that they mentioned the beloved Honolulu - which closed almost 12 years ago.

The article also mentions the decor, and the friends who had to liquidate their tiki bar. This was Scottiki's basement tiki bar 'The Moai Lounge' - and there was a post here on TC about their liquidation sale last Autumn. You'll be able to notice a few itmes that transitioned from home to the Archipelago.
